[SOLVED] BMP280 Pressure sensor - gowzel - 2016-05-07

Instead of the 180 I opted to buy the new version the 280. On installing it on my PI 3 running .71 the first time I opened plotter on the I2C tab it showed it had detected MS5611 pressure sensor AND a humidity sensor which I do not have. Subsequent reboots only show the pressure sensor. I have pressure and temperature boxes ticked, but in inspector it shows only data for temperature and the pressure shows no data at all. The temperature is at 20 C and never moves.
I am seeing this as the data every second:
$OSXDR,C,20.0,C,I2CT*22

Everything else running great GPS AIS and charts. I have unplugged AIS and GPS but still same results

Any ideas please

Have you tried pressing the Reset button?

Yes several times, and checked soldering and connections.
Thanks

I guess the BMP280 is not supported after reading several other forums.
I have found this though:

and this:

https://github.com/jfosnight/jonahsystems/tree/master/python

Would these work? 
The BMP280 is supposedly a lot more sensitive than the 180

Thanks

We use this library to manage IMUs, pressure, temperature and humidity sensors:
https://github.com/sailoog/RTIMULib2

It's a wonderful code because can work with many sensors but not all sensors in the market of course. There you will find the list of supported devices. Some people are adding more devices to the same library and we will try to update it with contributions. BMP280 is not supported at this moment.

Thanks for the reply, I have had a good look at the libraries and compared them with what I found above, but its a bit above my programming ability for now. Other than that I have a good reliable working system, so Thankyou for your hard work


RE: BMP280 Pressure sensor - S806 - 2016-10-04

Hello,

Having same problem overhere. The BME is connevted to i2c 77 and tested, it does work.
However Openplotter doesn't recognize.
Any alternative script advised or even better, is there any idea for a Openplotter update?

Thanks
Al

Hello! I've the same problem with BMP280... do you think that it will be supported in next future?
Thanks!

+1 for getting this sensor supported. It's the way to go for pressure, temp and humidity. I have one but currently have the system up and running with a BMP180 and a HTU210


RE: BMP280 Pressure sensor - Sailoog - 2017-02-22

I am waiting for a BME280, pressure, temp and humidity. I will add this to next release.
